How long does it usually take new grads to get promoted to sde2 at amazon? Also, how much of a salary increase do they get from the promotion? Tc: college student
If not promoted in 2 yrs, it’s considered underperforming and may result in dev plan.
Dev plan?
Yeah, SDE1 is supposed to become SDE2 in no more than 2 years. Who can’t do it is hinted to move on. Development plan is an official way to rid of underperforming ppl.
The highest most efficient performer I’ve seen from Uni of Oxford only took a year, but that’s rare and takes a bit of luck. Usually 2 years.
One of the guys I interned with did it in 8 months. 2 years is average. More than 2 years is fine, you don’t get fired unless you’re truly not performing. I’ve seen sde1 get promoted after 2.5-3 years as well and they’re all doing really well as sde2.
Approximately 2 years more or less depending on your manager, team, project and most importantly your performance.
